Fellow biomechanists, thanks for checking out this video—it’s part of a playlist that dives into the major topics covered in a university-level applied biomechanics course. I create these lectures for my kinesiology and sport science students but hope that they bring value to you as well. More here: https://bit.ly/3iJzGHv

Additionally, check out my Structural Kinesiology playlist, which will equip you with fundamental human anatomy and movement knowledge to level up your coaching craft: https://bit.ly/32kJ5zw

Or stop by my channel for complete teaching series statistics in kinesiology, strength and conditioning, and sport science: https://bit.ly/2Rlg5kQ

Have a great day and remember to move well, live well, and teach others to do the same!
